Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago.

It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Autorenporträt

Lytton Strachey (1880-1932) was a prominent English writer and critic known for his contributions to the Bloomsbury Group, an influential circle of intellectuals and artists in early 20th-century Britain. Strachey played a significant role in redefining biography as a genre and had a profound impact on modern English literature. Strachey's writing style was characterized by its wit, irony, and subversion of conventional narratives. He challenged the traditional approach to biography, rejecting the idea of portraying historical figures as flawless heroes and instead delving into their complexities, contradictions, and personal lives. Strachey's works extended beyond biography. He wrote essays, literary criticism, and cultural commentary that reflected his distinctive style and perspective. His writings often explored themes of sexuality, social conventions, and the hypocrisy of the Victorian era. Lytton Strachey's literary contributions influenced subsequent generations of writers and thinkers, shaping the development of modernist literature and the approach to biography as a genre. His works continue to be celebrated for their incisive analysis, bold interpretations, and unique literary style, solidifying his reputation as a key figure in 20th-century English literature and intellectual history.
